The "Times" this morning
had a Washington dispatch
saying that Hoyts report
was unfavorable to me -
that McCumber & Nelson
had seen it and were pleased
&c. but that "if the President
concluded to stick by me
he would not send my name
to the Senate till near the
close" &c They do not shout
like they deemed victory very
sure - well - lets wait.
Concluded case of Choate
v Woodson & took it under
advisement. Briefs to be
filed. 25º above zero &
warm.
